The cause related marketing category recognized an event that involved the cooperative efforts of a shopping center and a charitable or community need, interest or cause. The Wareham Crossing Braveheart Awards is an annual event that strived to honor everyday heroes who have shown courage and compassion, bravely defying the odds to make a difference in their community. In addition, event attendees were asked to donate much needed care package items to be sent to our troops overseas. As a result of last year's event, 1,900 holiday care packages were sent by Cape Cod Cares For Our Troops to our brave men in women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The 2nd Annual Braveheart Awards, being held on Saturday, September 17, will be honoring more everyday heroes as well as commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy.
